    2 years ago I was painting a 1980 Chevy Blazer with the exact gun Brian is using here (sprayed at 15 psi and final coat at 12-13). I had blotches, stripes and sand piling in the dark silver metallic. It was terrible. I tried a 4th coat. Mistake.
    I emailed Brian....he did not know me from Adam and gave me the EXACT advice he gives here and that slow or extra slow reducer is the money shot. It lets your paint fall into a wet bed rather than dry in the air and land dry. Brian is right on.
    I was spraying in my garage in Michigan in March so I had the heat on 70 but had to open the doors while spraying so I thought a medium reducer would work....nope! The paint store literally thought I was nuts when i went in there asking for slow or extra slow reducer during a Michigan winter. Honestly, I thought Brian was nuts too....but I had no choice. I was desperate.
    I had to allow 30 minutes between coats and even went overnight before going to clear coat since my shop is not a high heat paint booth. Brian is a class act and saved my butt!
    Thank you again sir!

It’s not perfect but I made it work and I plan to paint the rest of the car in the spring as I got a paint with the code and it was not a perfect match either. I’m glad I learned what I did and it will benefit me on the next one! Thanks Brian

    I've sprayed solvent paint for well over 40 years now. I'm currently spraying waterborne paint and let me tell you, it's a whole new ball game guys. While most of the waterborne paint seems to match late model colors, and effects better then their solvent counterparts, I'd still do my own stuff with solvent. I'm getting ready to retire at the end of March. So, I'll be giving Brians videos a good deal of my time. I'm not the first to say this, but this guy gives some of the best instruction without boring you with too many details. Keep up the good work.

I would like to return the color to the original factory color as there weren’t many of this model painted this color.

    Yes I noticed if we spray too many coats and its pre drying in the air, then when it lands on the panel the angle of the metallic particles starts to layer on different angles which the magnifies the streaky problem. Sanding smooth again and doing two wet coats, then one light coat seems to rectify the problem. I did that with spray cans too and it works.
    thank you for the helpful tips, I share your videos with friends

    My first attempt to paint my silver metallic wheel arches, outdoor, on my driveway in UK, during winter, from a spray can, 80% humidity, 15 degrees outside, windy. - Fail bad colour match
    My second attempt was to buy proper paint that matches and use a spray gun (DV1S). Almost same climateric conditions 12 degrees outside - Fail uneven blend and due to humidity it flaked.
    My third attempt was to fix the flakes, 9 degrees - Fail to blend, flaked again
    My fourth attempt was in my neighbours garage start from scratch - Used heat gun, thinner coats, 7 degrees outside. Failed to blend also too coarse grain. But I sanded and left it like that.
    Covered with Lacquer 2K clear coat. Next morning the clearcoat was not clear at all, all "frosted/shadowed"
    Used heat gun to restore transparency.
    I gave up. DV1S spot repair, 1.7 Bars 1.2mm HVLP+ nozzle. If you don't have a dry, warm, clean, available for DAYS, place. Don't even bother trying to paint anything yourself. RIP.
    Never failed so miserably in my life for a DIY job.

    I didn’t see it in the description, but what I use on my sealer edges is U-Pol Fade Out aerosol. Just a couple of light dustings around the edges of the sealer, followed by a good tack rag after flash time, then some blending clear over the panel(s) leaves a great substrate for a smooth blend.

    I teach a high school auto collision program and use your videos regularly. You explain things so well. My question is triggering the spray gun. I have watched a number of your videos and you do not release your trigger while painting. I was taught, and have passed on to my students, that they should partially release the trigger at the end of they spray stroke. Is there a correct way or is it a preference of the painter? Thanks again for the great channel.

    • @randy1ization
      @randy1ization 10 місяців тому

      your not killing wasps.. when you stop pulling the trigger, then pull it again, your creating a burst of pressure.. a pulse... this causes blotching.. usually near the edges because thats where you stop and start pulling the trigger,, also some people flick thier wrist at the end of the panel, this causes uneven paint as well..They do this to try and look like they know what they are doing,,, but they dont,,,, it looks like they are throwing as frisbee..
      you want to be like a robot.. consistant on every pass. when u flick your wrist, it causes a tendency to move the gun closer to the surface when you start to go back the other way..
      concentrate or you distance from the panel, your speed, and the "wet: line of the paint, as well as your overlap percentage. your wet line determines your speed in relation to the distance you are from the panel..

    Your videos are great.
    Been spraying for a long time… I still hate shooting silver. I usually charge a little extra for the aggravation. 😂
    Each brand of paint requires a little different process in order to get satisfactory results. And for me… now that I’m retired, blending silver is out of the question.
